Imagine just how popular the members of the Fellowship would be in Gondor and Rohan after the War of the Ring. They’re the heroes who saved the world, and the common folks look up at them in awe.

A few years after the end of the war, Legolas is visiting Minas Tirith when he hears a woman call his name. He turns around, surprised, only to see this stranger calling after a toddler running away from her. “Legolas, come back to mama!” she calls, over and over. There’s a baby on her hip who start crying, and she gently shushes her little Pippin. Legolas walks away, feeling wistful and wondering.

In Rohan, Éomer hears one of his men proudly announce the birth of his first child, a little boy named Merry; he smiles and congratulates the young father, making a mental note to write to Merry Brandybuck.

Gimli becomes a very popular name for little girls in Gondor, and this sends Aragorn and Legolas into hysterical fits of laughter. Gimli is unbearably proud of this fact.

Samwise and Frodo, too, become popular children names, no matter the gender, and especially amongst lower class folks. When Sam hears of the news, he turns red and sputtering.

Two decades or so after the war, Faramir almost has a heart attack when one of the new recruits of the guard of Ithilien almost sheepishly introduces himself as Boromir.

okay but imagine its a normal day on coruscant but similar to real life there is a paparazzi and someone happens to get pictures of anakin and padme and the holonet does a backflip

suddenly EVERYONE is talking about anakin and padme, padme and anakin, jedi and senator... and the jedi council is completely uprooted from the inside out. What are they supposed to do? they have to kick anakin out

but then the holonet supporters start to... actually like anakin and padme. it is fanpage after fanpage and positive tweet after another. its an insane chain of people stanning these two coruscant kids because they are now the cutest couple of the holonet.

AND THEN the jedi council comes out with a statement that basically says, "yeah we might kick anakin off the jedi order" and the entire universe RIOTS. protesters outside the temple, advocates take to the streets, speeches are made, etc, etc... its all coming to a head.

AND WHAT MORE? anakin "dramatic" skywalker here is basically bathing in the beauty of this and is over his snit he was in -over the fact that someone snitched (;D)- and now is actively showing up at the rallies and holding up signs that say "at least someone loves me" in bright pink lettering. at one he shows up with a sign that says "if u kick me out i join the separatists bet" accompanied by a poorly drawn image of anakin as a sith- ironic- and he has a jar and people donate 10,000 credits for the hell of it.

well nOW THE COUNCIL IS LIKE UH. They have the biggest coruscant uprising in the history of the galaxy because the stans and fangirls are flocking to support hot jedi anakin skywalker on his quest to be better than the jedi council.

well the council leads a vote, with mace leading the "kick him out" side- he wants to see if anakin actually goes dark side- and obi-wan leads the "keep him in" side. and by one vote, obi-wan swings the election and anakin is allowed to stay.

THE PEOPLE CELEBRATE. everyone basically got what they wanted in the first place save the select few that wanted to see anakin go to the separatists- because honestly, its been long enough of a war, right?- and anakin's first thing he does is marches the 501st out of the jedi temple in a parade with a sign that says "IM GOD NOW" because seriously, he has everyone on coruscant in a chokehold with his influence.

oh, and the "paparrazi" that took the photo? it was obi-wan.

The absolute cruelty of the "Let Go" cover playing during the pool scene, because in order for Maddie to get her life back, Wally will have to let her go eventually. And she'll have to let go of him too, not just because she won't be able to see or speak to him anymore, but because she'll get to grow up and live a full life when he never will. She'll get to go to college, find herself outside of the confines of adolescence, have a career of her choosing, maybe even fall in love again and have a family if she wants to. If she gets to live again, she will be the Wendy to his Peter. The Wendy who gets to grow up while he'll always be outside her window, waiting for a reunion that will never come. This would've messed me up as a teenager but I think it hits even harder as an adult because you have a greater awareness of the magnitude of that kind of loss, especially if you know what it's like to see friends and classmates die young. They stay frozen in time, unable to move forward and hit certain milestones, while you and the rest of their peers are left to go on living. It's a surreal experience, and it never feels right. I think we all automatically expect our peers to be out there somewhere living parallel lives even if we're not close to them. We expect them to get the same amount of time we do. But some of them don't, and you have to keep going while you wonder why them, why were they the ones who had to get left behind? The older you get, the more gut-wrenching that thought becomes, and it's something this show handles very well without shoving it in your face to evoke an emotional reaction. It just quietly acknowledges the reality of that experience, which makes it all the more poignant.

What if Anakin was a Twin?

Remember the arc in “The Clone Wars” where Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ashoka meet the Father, Sister, and Brother? What if Anakin had a sister to replicate the Brother and Sister, and together they would bring balance. 

She would be older by a minute or two and be a lot more apprehensive when meeting Qui-Gon in the “Phantom Menace”. (She had dreamt about them taking Anakin away.) She would go with Anakin to Coruscant to be trained to be a Jedi, Anakin would be Obi-Wan’s padawan and she would be Qui-Gon’s. But after Qui-Gon dies she would be assigned to someone else, or maybe she wouldn’t have a consistent master but go on missions with other Jedi. 

In “Attack of the Clones” she would go with Obi-Wan to Kamino, while Anakin went with Padme and they would finally reunite on Geonosis.  Somehow she would find out about Anakin and Padme.

She would be a general in the war and would fight with Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ashoka in different battles. (She would be like a big sister to all of her clones.) And when the council heard a distress signal that hadn’t been used in over 2,000 years, they send the four of them.

That’s where Anakin and his sister discover that they are the ones that will bring balance to the force. They are mirrors of one another, and the farther to the dark one of them falls, the other goes the other way. So if say, hypothetically, Anakin was to fall, she would become stronger in the light side of the force and vice versa. 

This is ultimately one of the things that prevent Anakin from falling, she can sense him slipping. And at the end of the war makes the case to the council that Anakin’s relationships with those around him kept both of them from falling and eventually led to them k-wording Palps and bringing balance to the force. So the Council would be like “yeah I guess maybe we won’t ban people from certain attachments, but we’ll teach that being fearful of losing those we love can cause someone to slip.” Just in time for Padme to give birth to twins. 

And what if, hypothetically, I had a fanfic in the works based on this exact idea...

nesta antis trying to put a negative spin on the valkyries’ friendship is so weird to me

it’s literally the only friendship in the series where there isn’t a weird power dynamic (except maybe feyre and lucien but that friendship is hanging by it’s last thread)

rhys literally pulls the high lord card on his friends whenever they don’t follow his orders and that is so weird. cassian is out here calling his rhys ‘high lord’ and it’s like … aren’t you guys supposed to be best friends of 500 years?

does amren actually like anyone in the inner circle? i’m not so sure. why does mor not feel comfortable coming out to the inner circle when she’s known them for five centuries? and i’m not even starting on the cassian/mor/azriel situation that has been going on for centuries. they might be family to each other but they have the weirdest dynamic ever

and isn’t the IC supposed to be feyre’s great new family that always includes her in things? then why did they hide the truth of her pregnancy from her? they would clearly choose rhys over her any day and it’s not surprising because feyre’s only tie to them is being rhysand’s mate

and this argument that ‘nesta’s abuse needs to be called out by gwyn and emerie’ WHAT? they know she had an unhealthy relationship with her sisters and parents and they know she was a bitch and they don’t care because she’s working on herself and she’s been nothing but a great friend to both of them. are they supposed to hold a meeting with feyre and nesta and make them apologise to each other and talk it out?

but if these antis are so adamant that bad behaviour gets called out by friends then why don’t the antis want the IC to call rhys out for sexually assaulting and abusing feyre UTM? why don’t they want the IC to call out amren for being as big of a bitch as nesta is to everyone? why don’t they want anyone to call out azriel for making mor uncomfortable for 500 years?

it’s clear they just hate that nesta made her own friends and is happy with them (and i understand it’s hard to see a character you hate thriving with new healthy friendships) but it’s so weird to try and make this friendship a negative thing when it’s literally the healthiest and most uplifting and positive relationship in the series

Azriel is in the girls gc because

1. Hes not a snitch

2. He’s never active

3. He gives them scary dog privileges

4. He will literally do anything his friends ask of him

5. Hes really nice to the girls

6. Hes gay

I'm normally a big bitch about anachronisms but I'm willing to handwave them for School Spirits bc decades and decades is sure to make your memory murky and mushy. Wally misses Debbie Gibson despite her first album coming out three years after he died? He heard it after he was already trapped. Emilio showed Charley Crash Into Me in 1994 even though the song released in 1996? No he didn't, Charley doesn't remember what song it really was and he's substituted one he's heard Emilio listening to since. Quinn was a huge Veronica Mars fan in 2004 even though the show would have only aired a handful of episodes when she died? It's one of the few things she remembers about herself before the mind draining numbness of being stuck in a loop and she's latched onto it as part of her anyway.

Like I am SO willing to make shit up about the things they say that aren't right in the timeline if it makes it sadder. Love it.

I am going to eat this entire candy cane.
